[quote=Anonymous]Easy / you go to having you can go too.

Part of the fun is learning the stuff yourself.  Never had a cheer kid.  Only daughter was a soccer kid.  But, had two who marched.  We enjoyed going to the games and the competitions.  Sure we had to split up when kids were doing other things.  That’s fine.

One suggestion - kids do very much want to grab a ride home with you after away games.  Make certain you know and follow any applicable rules.  Usually the coach has to have written notice in advance (as in a couple days but check) and you can only take your own kid.  “But, Sally’s mom called and said …” does not work.

Where you can back off if you want is with younger kids - freshmen and jv - they may be “expected” to attend the varsity game.  Go if you want.  Do figure out a good post game pick up spot.  Do spend a lot - and I mean a lot - of time talking about parking lot safety.  Full lots, at night, after game, many young drivers - that is a recipe for trouble.  We often went with picking up “in front” of the schools.  You won’t be the only one.  But, think about safely avoiding crowded post game parking lots.
